Min 4 inches clear ice to walk.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
PFD Always On
Wear a life jacket at all times in a kayak — capsizes happen without warning.
File a Float Plan
Tell someone your launch point, route, and return time before every kayak trip.
Anchor for Stability
Use an anchor or stake-out pole when casting from a kayak — standing shots need stability.
Safety Notes
- Wear a PFD near deep or fast-moving water.
- Handle hooks carefully and use barbless hooks near children.
- Never fish ice alone — check thickness.
